How Yatton compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Yatton. It is one of 21 Somerset towns we track, and it ranks 14th of 21 for solar yield, a town of 8,092 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,016 kWh per kWp a year, 2.78 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £910 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £663 from export at 12p.
These are starting numbers, not a quote. The calculator below opens on Yatton's own PVGIS figure; change the panels, the battery or the export rate and it reruns. The design call replaces every assumption with your roof and your bills.
Any planning application in Yatton sits with North Somerset, and its official House of Commons Library settlement class is small town.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.

NGED and your Yatton connection
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) owns and runs the local electricity network in Yatton, as part of its South West England licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.

Adding a heat pump or an EV charger in Yatton
A heat pump in Yatton
In December, the darkest month here, 12 panels in Yatton make about 210 kWh. That is when a heat pump runs hardest, so its running cost in Yatton comes down to the tariff and the flow temperature rather than the roof.
Grant support in England comes from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: £7,500 for an air source or ground source heat pump, £2,500 for air-to-air, and an extra £1,500 until March 2027 where the home is heated by oil or LPG off the gas grid (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026).
Charging an EV in Yatton
Yatton's May output, about 800 kWh from 12 panels, is several times the 70 kWh or so a typical home uses in daylight that month on our calculator's settings. Daytime charging turns that surplus into miles.
If you rent, or own a flat, and have private off-street parking, the government chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 a socket, until 31 March 2027 (gov.uk, checked 28 September 2026). The calculator above prices a 7.4kW smart charger from £1,100 installed.

Common questions about solar in Yatton
How much electricity do solar panels make in Yatton?
About 6,460 kWh a year from 12 panels (6.36 kWp), on PVGIS satellite data for Yatton: 1,016 kWh per kWp, or 2.78 peak sun hours a day on average. May is the strongest month, at about 800 kWh.
Is solar more expensive in Yatton?
Prices on this site are the same everywhere: £1,000 per kWp installed, which puts a 12-panel system at £6,360 in Yatton, and a Duracell Dura16 installed with solar at £4,450 on top. The local part is generation, about 6,460 kWh a year here, which is what drives payback.
Which DNO covers Yatton, and what does it need from me?
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) covers Yatton. A home system of up to 3.68kW per phase is notified to NGED within 28 days of commissioning under G98, and nothing waits on approval. Larger outputs need a G99 application before work starts. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
What could I earn from exporting in Yatton?
On the 12p export scenario, a 12-panel system in Yatton sends about 5,525 kWh a year to the grid, worth around £663. The export rates table compares what each supplier pays.
How much solar does Yatton get in December?
December is the low point: about 210 kWh from a 12-panel system in Yatton, on PVGIS data, rising to 800 kWh in May. From November to February the same system makes about 1,070 kWh in total, which is why a battery charged off-peak does more of the work in winter.
How Yatton compares with its neighbours
Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.
| Town | kWh per kWp a year | vs Yatton |
|---|---|---|
| Yatton | 1,016 | this town |
| Clevedon | 1,045 | +29 kWh |
| Nailsea | 1,014 | −2 kWh |
| Weston-super-Mare | 1,053 | +37 kWh |
| Portishead | 1,019 | +3 kWh |
| Bristol | 1,021 | +5 kWh |
| Burnham-on-Sea | 1,049 | +33 kWh |
Each row is a PVGIS v5.2 run at that town's centre with the same settings. Treat gaps of a few kWh as noise and gaps over about 30 kWh per kWp as real differences in sunshine.
